Kash Kunene wrote a sympathy message

“Katherine was a kind, generous, loving person. I knew her since first grade, and ever since that day I knew she wanted to be friends with everybody. It’s so sad to see her have to go at a young age. Katherine once gave me a bracelet, she said that it didn’t cost that much, but instead of judging the bracelet off its cost, I judged it off of thoughtfulness. One day the bracelet broke, I was to shy to ask her to fix it, not knowing that one day that would be my biggest regret.”

“I remember me,Kathrine,and Eden used to walk home together, and then Eden stop coming to school, and now Kathrine has passed now it’s just me walking. I wonder how Eden would feel if she found out Kathrine died, I feel she would be so upset and sad. Today I picked flowers for Kathrine’s mom and left them at her door, I how she sees them. And Kathrine was always so happy and kind all the time, I never have seen a day where Kathrine had been upset. See you on Sunday, miss you already🕊️💔 -Khloe”

“Though I didn't talk to Katherine that much she was always so nice and she was my friend. She would always be so kind to everybody and never stopped being happy. I remember one time in third grade she asked me to make her rainbow bracelet,I made it for her and she said she liked it. A couple weeks ago, before she died,she showed me that she still had the bracelet. Another time she gave me a pink and pearl bracelet that I still have and will always still have it. -Sincerely Janelle S.🕊️❤️”

“Katherine was one of the brightest lights in the room. Each morning she came to me with great happiness to show me the stories she had written. I looked forward to reading her stories, especially those where she wished more kindness in the world. There was never a time when Katherine wasn't smiling. Her smile was infectious. I will miss that most. I will forever cherish the memories we created over her writing. I will miss you eternally. Until we meet again, Katherine. - Ms. Brewer”
